You want something that is going to stand up to use. Many fans I have found that people are selling wouldnt last one season of use. Some wouldnt make it through one event! A fan is definitely a useful accessory. Thus the handle design I am using is one that will last, is comfortable in the hand, and easy to produce. 1. After the handle is cut out it will need to be drilled. This handle design is drilled with a double row of alternating holes for the feathers. 2. With everything cut out and drilled you will now need to sand the handle until smooth. Remember this is going to be in your hand. 3. Once the sanding is done the handle needs to be stained or painted. For todays exercise we will be staining. With staining the object is merely to change the color of wood and offer the wood a bit of protection. The more stain you put on the handle the longer it will take to dry. It is not painting, and is not necessary saturate the wood. 4. While the stain is drying we will need to trim the quill of the feathers. The feathers we are using today are Ostrich Drabs. This is not a personal statement about the appearance or color, but the name of the feathers that come from the body of the ostrich. Upon observation you will be able to see a slight swelling on the end of the quill. That is what keeps the feathers within the skin of the bird. We will need to trim those down so that the feathers will fit into the predrilled handles. We want to trim that swelling but not take too much of the quill off so that there is something to anchor the feathers into the handle. Also we want the feathers to be basically all the same length. 5. Once the stain is dry enough to handle we will glue the feathers in place. This is best achieved by placing a small amount of glue in each hole then placing the feather into the handle. Do not over fill the holes with glue so as not to get the glue onto the fluffs of the feather. You will have a short time window to arrange the feathers to your best liking before the glue dries. 6. Now that you have your feathers set it is time to attached the lanyard. This small loop of cord will allow you to hang the fan from your belt. I like to use a mug strap to hang my fan from so that I do not have to constantly tie and untie my belt. You can embellish your fan as you wish with small wood accents, gems, mirrors, and even carvings. Once you are comfortable with this fan form you may want to try others. A good website with other fan types and construction ideas can be found at: http://www.vertetsable.com Care and feeding of your new fan It is important to remember that your fan is made with real feathers and subject to the problems of real feathers such as feather mites. A simple and period solution to this problem is to include a sachet of lavender in the container. Feathers will also wilt in high humidity conditions. The little packets of desiccant that are thrown into shoe boxes or in purses at the store would great for combating the humidity in storage boxes. Feather Sources: http://www.smileyme.com A great source for smaller quantities of feathers http://www.ostrich.com If you join their mailing list you will get notices on sales. They usually have a 50% sale for their yearly anniversary in July. http://www.sturgisfeathers.com Best price I have found for ordering a pound of feathers at a time. ------ Copyright 2007 by Beth M.
